Athlon Sports spotlighted 10 freshman QBs to watch this fall. Tyler Buchner is in there. Their explanation:
"Notre Dame landed Wisconsin transfer Jack Coan to help bridge the gap to the program’s inexperienced (but talented) freshman quarterback in Buchner. The California native missed most of his sophomore season due to a torn ACL and missed his senior year due to COVID-19. However, Buchner has all of the talent needed to thrive in South Bend. As a junior in 2019, he threw for 4,474 yards and 53 touchdowns and added 1,610 yards and 28 scores on the ground. Buchner impressed in his first stint on campus with the Fighting Irish and finished spring by connecting on six of nine passes for 140 yards and adding a rushing score in the Gold-Blue Game."
